A Job to Do

I finished the meeting in San Francisco which was a big success with the client and got to work with a wonderful group of TDs. Made lots of new friends and got to catch up with old ones. It was a challenging one for me as I struggled with a migraine for the last four days of it. That is something I hope never happens again.

I have a lot of respect for our profession. We have just one shot to get it right when we are on-site. There is no do over or chance to try again tomorrow. So even when you don’t feel well, you have to push on through and do your job. And it is a team effort, this one with over 70 TDs working together for the client. Your job directly affects everyone’s job so respecting and understanding the importance of that is a must.

It can be challenging at times but a good way of looking at it is that it builds one hell of a work ethic and character. And by circumstance, we learn to specialize in the philosophy of “work hard, play hard”. We embrace each day on-site by working our asses off and then remembering to celebrate the success of it.

But the best part is walking away from it knowing you did your best. You did it for another successful event, for another client and event company but best of all you did it for yourself. And that feeling is an extremely sweet one.

Until next time.
